Jack Wilshere GUTTED to see team-mate leave Arsenal

GUTTED: Jack WIlshere is sad to see Benik Afobe leave Arsenal on a permanent deal [GETTY]

Afobe, 21, ended a 14-year association with the Gunners to sign a three-and-a-half year deal with Kenny Jackett's Championship side after an impressive loan spell at MK Dons and Wilshere is sad to see his pal leave.

The England international wrote on Twitter: "Good luck to my boy @Afobe_ at @OfficialWolves. Gutted to see him leave but his dream has legs so he is chasing it!!! #GoalScorer."

Afobe scored 19 goals in 30 appearances for the League One Dons and his form sparked Wolves' interest.

Jackett said: "At 21 we feel now he's ready to have a permanent home.

"He's had several loans, and bringing him here, working with him, making sure he feels at home is going to be a big thing for Benik. I think he'll repay us very well."
